| - Very delightful place to eat!
Went with a friend after work (who coincidentally came with me to Kaiju) to try out this place on his recommendation. After a short commute we found out that the place was closed!
...well at least until 5:30. After a short wait at the nearby starbucks we finally saw the place was open and decided to head on in. We were greeted by a small cozy restaurant and - get this - an actual Japanese waitress! She brought us our menus and quickly brought us our waters.
Being the big guys we were, I ordered a pork cutlet curry dinner and my friend got the chicken tatsuta curry dinner, along with a spicy salmon (to test how their sushi was) and the croquette (I've always wanted to try these!)
The waitress (did I mention she was Japanese?) took our order, went into the kitchen and yelled the order to the chef (who also was Japanese!). Our orders came relatively quickly. We then realized our grave error in that we had ordered way too much.
Digging in, the food was quite good! The katsu plate gave you 2 medium sized pieces of pork, along with a heaping amount of rice, and curry to boot. I'm rather torn now, as both Kaiju and Tokyo kitchen have stolen my heart (and stomach respectively). I think at the end of the day, I'd have to give it to Tokyo Kitchen, as their meat was that much more tender, and their curry was that much more gratuitous. The owner of Kaiju will always have a spot in my heart, but for the time being, Tokyo Kitchen has my stomach.
Their croquette was, okay. As this was the first time I've had it, I have no comparison to pit against it, so all I can say was that it tasted to me like a deep fried potato cutlet, with small bits of meat thrown into it.
Finally their Spicy Salmon Roll was subpar. I guess as a kitchen, I'll stick with their kitchen items.
At the end of the day, this place is a nice spot to go to for a cozy little conversation with a few others. Their generously sized portions will leave you beyond satisfied, and if not, their prices were quite good to start off with. Just order something else and be on your way. Their (Japanese) service was extremely friendly and courteous and made our visit all the more delightful.
Just make sure you don't need the washroom before you head there, as they'll give you a key attached to a spatula, and make you walk out of the restaurant in shame towards their shared washroom facilities located in the parking garage in which the restaurant is located by.
Yeah, that's a thing.
